Gina Carano’s coach John Wood says she can still beat a lot of fighters and believes she’ll fight again soon:

“I see somebody in the room who, she can still fight, dude. And there's a lot of people that she can still beat, I guarantee you. You know, I think with the right match-ups and the right, you know, fair, you know, match-ups, that we can have some fun out there.

“I would love to see her have another camp and do a fun fight. Do I think she's going to do it? I would lean more to yes than no.”

Ben Askren and Daniel Cormier BLAST Jake Paul, Ronda Rousey and Netflix’s MMA event for having “not a single competitive fight” on the entire card 😳

Ben: “Incredibly one-sided is the biggest thing that comes to mind.. You know, there wasn't a singular fight that was moderately competitive on the card.

And, you know, we need the highlights, we need the knockouts, we need these spectacular things, but the best thing we can get is a back-and-forth fight.”

DC: “It’s not boxing, right? In boxing you build athletes by crushing people that aren’t on their level necessarily..

So many of the fighters on that card were already established fighters. They were on the backend of their careers. So there was no star-building.”
